Our Story


Where I live today with my husband and 5 children, we are surrounded by green pastures and all the very best that nature brings to us. After finishing school I completed an apprenticeship in funeral directing and embalming. I was so passionate about the funeral service industry that I went to America at 17 years old and completed a degree and professional training in Mortuary Science. During my time in the United States, I began to research sustainable methods for burial and cremation. I was in search of an end-of-life choice that was greener and more sustainable than the options available. I discovered Resomation, also known as Water Cremation or Aquamation. I then began the very challenging journey to bring Resomation to Ireland. The innovation and technology that would provide a more eco-friendly, safe, and gentle alternative to flame cremation or burial.

"People spend a year organizing and getting ready for their wedding, where two hundred people might see them. Yet when you're dead, you have nothing prepared and there could be two thousand people coming to view you... So it's a huge privilege for me to give the person my time and to be able to look after them the way I would look after my own."

Our Team

At Pure Reflections, we are a group of like-minded individuals who are open, warm, compassionate and very comfortable talking about death and dying. We have all experienced death in our own lives and born extreme grief, not to mention the overwhelming feeling when asked to make decisions and choices on behalf of a loved one who has just died. 


We understand and have experienced how grief presents itself in many different ways. Be assured, at Pure Reflections we will support you and your family during your time of loss and sadness. From your very first contact with us, you are in the care of the Pure Reflections team. We conduct the Resomation in our own Resomarium and  we are with you and your loved one every step of the way.
